I couldn’t be happier for Ed Belfour. He was one of the best goalies in the NHL for a decade and now a soon-to-be member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. He was also something even more important: He was my favourite hockey player growing up.
Even when I still supported the Leafs [...]
It has been quite a season for Dwayne De Rosario, who is seemingly getting no respect where ever he goes in MLS. Toronto didn’t want to pay him the big bucks, so they shipped him to New York. New York didn’t want to pay him the big bucks, so they shipped him [...]
This should be one of the zaniest NBA drafts in a long time. There’s a lot of uncertainty flying around and that should make for a lot of interesting plotlines. There should be quite a few trades – involving picks, players and even some stars – thanks to the coming lockout. You also have two [...]
After reading about ESPN’s “Ultimate Team Rankings” report naming Toronto the worst city in North American professional sports, I was actually put at a loss for words to defend my home town. I should have actually seen it coming. After all, isn’t the foreshadowing here a bit in the standings? Toronto [...]
So, with Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final – every Canadian kid’s dream scenario – going tonight, there’s only one real question that it all boils down to: Which Roberto Luongo is going to show up?
Will it be the one that has allowed two goals in three games at home during the final, posting [...]
This turned out to an NBA final with a ton at stake for a few of the players involved. And we’re not just talking about rings and titles here; we’re talking about legacies and how players will be viewed historically from here on out.
With Dirk Nowitzki winning his first title and the Finals MVP, he [...]
With both championship series both evened up at 2-2 after the Bruins’ mugging of the Canucks in Boston on Wednesday night, the NBA final and the Stanley Cup final both now come down to a best-of-three shootout. So, out of the four teams remaining, who has the best shot at winning it all? Let’s take [...]
Is there anything less built up or exciting in sports than the MLB draft? There’s very little hype, it happens during the season and if you’ve heard of more than four or five guys that get drafted, chances are you’re either a scout or involved in a seriously deep fantasy league.
This is nothing like any [...]
I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like what happened during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final on Wednesday night. After the first period, Alex Burrows and Patrice Bergeron got into it before clearing the ice. In typical scrum fashion, with a linesman trying to hold the two apart, the two combatants tried to [...]
After watching a borderline terrible opening game to the NBA’s final, it’s time to move onto Lord Stanley’s tournament and look at the Vancouver-Boston series for perhaps the coolest trophy in sports.
Both teams come into this series with a ton of baggage. The Boston Bruins may not have won a Stanley Cup in 39 years, [...]
